The election results from the 2014 midterm election are coming in, but the outcome is already a fait accompli: the GOP has retained the House of Representatives, won 24 of 36 gubernatorial elections, and took the Senate by at least two votes [as of this moment some these numbers are in flux as a few [...]

That’s a question more and more parents want to know. Evidence is mounting that the wave of enterovirus EV-D68 cases impacting students throughout the nation originated in Central America, giving fuel to the argument that Obama’s policy of sending those unaccompanied illegal minors to all 50 states may have spread this deadly virus. I’ve contended [...]

The old WMD story has recently resurfaced and if what I’ve read is true, I’m beyond outraged. The back story: Back in 2006 the Pentagon feared that the insurgents (particularly Al Qaeda in Iraq, now ISIS) would use remnants of Saddam’s chemical weapon stockpile against US troops particularly for use in IEDs. Of course, that [...]

Right now two plagues are a scourge across America — Ebola and the Non-Polio Enterovirus D-68. While our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of these highly infectious and deadly diseases making their rounds around the USA, two notions popped into my mind. First, how in the hell did Ebola get in the [...]

The three Axis of Right bloggers all moved away, but we grew up in the smallest state in the union and still keep track of what’s going on there. Tonight, the state held its primaries, and the gubernatorial race could be an interesting one. In the Democrat primary, State Treasurer Gina Raimondo won comfortably over [...]

I know I haven’t posted in a while and that my last post said something about avoiding silly season, but after I saw today’s news about Russian planes practicing cruise missile attacks on the United States, I remembered Obama’s ignorant and arrogant taunt about the 80s wanting their foreign policy back. Rather than wondering about [...]

You know the old saying “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.” The September 11, 2012, attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was just such a story. The Obama Administration’s reaction to it seemed odd (like they were hiding something), and anyone could have figured that this terrorist attack (less than two months before a [...]

The Washington Redskins name controversy is resurfacing as the 2014 NFL season draws closer. The politically correct cultural elites are trying to force their views onto a generally disinterested public to further turn the mostly neutered NFL (No Fun League) political. For libs everything is political — they can’t help it, it’s just who they [...]

James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas just released a new video designed to emphasize the real problem with an open Southern border — we don’t really know who is coming over the border! Here’s the latest video showing O’Keefe himself, dressed like Osama Bin Laden crossing from Mexico into the United States. The Southern border should have [...]

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi got a bit unhinged when Pennsylvania Congressman, Republican Tom Marino, called her out for playing politics with the border by indicating that the Democrats had all the power back in 2009-10 and did nothing about these problems. Here’s a Fox News interview with Marino on his reaction to Pelosi: While [...]

It’s just one of those days. Israel invades Gaza. After ten days of on-and-off ceasefires and peace talks, the Israelis decided that a blunt force trauma to the Hamas terrorist infrastructure would be the best move to secure their border. Can’t blame Israel — they even announced days ago that they were coming in order [...]

The Supreme Court handed down two big decisions today (5-4, predictably), one striking down parts of the Obamacare contraception mandate, the other allowing certain employees to opt out of union membership. The Burwell v. Hobby Lobby decision notes that since HHS has already carved out some exemptions for religious institutions to be exempt from the [...]

This past Tuesday, Mississippi Senator Thad Cochran defeated insurgent Tea Party-favorite Chris McDaniel in a run-off election by about 6,700 votes. While McDaniel defeated Cochran in the popular vote after the first primary election, McDaniel failed to get the 50% needed to avoid a run-off. McDaniel is obviously upset and is threatening legal action, which [...]

Last evening a political earthquake took place that everyone is still trying to absorb. Eric Cantor became the first sitting House Majority Leader to ever lose a primary (at least since the position was created in the 1890s). That’s big, especially since his opponent was a little known college professor named Dave Brat, who won [...]

How in the hell do tens of thousands of unaccompanied children end up swamping the Mexican border, creating an impending humanitarian crisis? As far as I can tell, there are two reasons: 1) negligent border security efforts and 2) the impression in many Central American countries that an amnesty is coming. So, the Obama Nation [...]

Just in time to take the V.A. scandal out of the headlines while head-faking the nation so a deal can be reached with the Hamas-led terrorist Palestinian government, President Obama neatly handed over five Taliban members who were resting comfortably at Gitmo for one American POW… without notifying Congress, which is illegal since these guys [...]

Representative Trey Gowdy will be leading the House Select Committee on Benghazi. This former prosecutor definitely has theatrical flair, but when coupled with the truth — watch out! Here’s a taste of what’s coming as he pelts the press with some questions of his own:

The Southern Poverty Law Center (probably in dire need of attention and funds these days) has labelled those who raise their voices in opposition to the Common Core federal takeover of education standards as promoting “far-right propaganda” associated with “Fox News, the John Birch Society, Tea Part factions, and the Christian Right.” I’m not shocked [...]

America’s most famous intern wrote a piece for Vanity Fair about her salacious relationship with our 42nd President. The Lewinsky Affair led to the first impeachment of a President since 1868. Like it or not, it’s part of history. First of all, she’s 40 now. Yikes! She was a 22-year-old White House intern at the [...]

And they aren’t too pretty. Even as officers on the ground and at headquarters knew that the September 11, 2012, Benghazi attacks were perpetrated by a coordinated terrorist effort, the Obama Administration was making up and sticking to the ridiculous story that a video made the attackers do it. Hours after the attack the spin [...]

After the recent Bundy Ranch fiasco finally died down, Nevada Senator Harry Reid jumped into the mix, calling those who descended to the ranch to support Clive Bundy “domestic terrorists.” While this kind of hyperbole is completely uncalled for (especially for the Senate Majority Leader) and diminishes the meaning of “terrorist,” Reid doubled down on [...]

While scouring the Internets this morning, I noticed RCP had two contrasting views on Common Core — the national education standards 45 states adopted without looking at them first. David Brooks takes the Ruling Class apologist’s view, basically that one should just get over it and embrace the change. Erick Erickson takes the skeptical view, [...]

Hopefully you’ve been paying attention to events happening in Nevada regarding rancher Clive Bundy’s conflict with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) — it says a lot about what is bubbling beneath the surface in DC and across the nation. The case is simple: Bundy has to pay grazing fees to the federal government since [...]

Marvel’s latest comic book adaptation, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, hit theaters this weekend with both a fun and highly political message. Here’s the trailer: The reviews are in and Winter Soldier is definitely worth the price of admission. It’s even received Glenn Beck’s seal of approval (which is very hard to get for a [...]

Occasionally, one needs a dose of clarity to (if nothing else) prepare psychologically for our impending day of reckoning. I know that sounds apocalyptic, but our government’s spending, general ruling class behavior, the stock market, and other financial institutions are currently not on a sustainable path. Unfortunately, we don’t know the time or the place [...]

As it discovers more about Common Core, Indiana will become the first state that adopted the program to dump it after its initial phases are over. Some believe that this development could start a snowball effect as more states implement the standards this Fall. We’ll have to see where all this is going. Common Core [...]

Vatican chief justice Cardinal Raymond Burke said the following when asked about the Obama Administration in an interview for a Christian magazine: It is true that the policies of the president of the United States have become progressively more hostile toward Christian civilization. He appears to be a totally secularized man who aggressively promotes anti-life [...]

Rhode Island’s House Speaker, Gordon Fox (D), resigned yesterday amid an investigation by the US attorney’s office, the FBI, the IRS, and the state police. The story itself is interesting for two reasons: first, that no one yet knows what the investigation is all about, and secondly, that Fox is biracial and gay. In this [...]

The last week or so has seen an acceleration of events between Russia, Crimea, and Ukraine which seemingly could spiral anywhere. Russian-occupied Crimea voted the other day to secede — I’m not sure how “legal” the vote was until one thinks, of course, that there is no such thing as international law, just international norms [...]

Republican David Jolly defeated Democrat Alex Sink in a special election last night for Florida’s 13th Congressional district. The district was historically Republican, but voted twice for Obama. Jolly had a bloody primary battle, was trashed by the Establishment GOP last week, and was pitted against the Democrat machine with a candidate in Sink who [...]
